A 40-year-old San Antonio man arrested in a Kerr County sting operation with the help of Furex, a Gillespie County drug dog, was recently indicted on a charge punishable by as much as life in prison.
The investigation began last spring when Kerr County Sheriff’s Office obtained intelligence indicating someone was coming to Kerrville to sell methamphetamine.
